Much of GitHub’s user growth is taking place outside of the United States, where the company is based. The fastest growing market, determined by the total number of repositories created, is Algeria, followed by El Salvador, Egypt, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan.

If one is only concerned with total open-source repositories created, the top five countries then become Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Belarus, Sri Lanka, and Nigeria.

This user growth is great news for GitHub, which only hosted 33,000 repositories back in 2008. It’s also proof that news of the Microsoft acquisition, which was announced earlier this summer, has done nothing to dampen the platform’s appeal to developers.
